Philip was a lawyer and U.S. attorney whose letters to his children comprise reminiscences of his interesting early years (1897-1903) as a cowboy in the area west of Fort Pierre, South Dakota.

Philip was an educated and intellectually curious individual with the gift of almost total recall. He was also a natural born yarn spinner. —Richard H. Dillon
